Ex-'Hollyoaks' actor to guest in 'Doctors'

Former Hollyoaks actor Nico Mirallegro is to make a several-week guest appearance in Doctors, Digital Spy can exclusively reveal.

The 19-year-old - who has played Hollyoaks emo Barry 'Newt' Newton for the last three years - recently filmed his final scenes with the Channel 4 teen soap, before quickly landing a guest part in BBC One's daytime medical drama.

Mirallegro takes on the role of Italian foreign exchange student Giovanni Mannasorri, who arrives in Letherbridge to study at university.

Attractive and highly enthusiastic, Giovanni soon befriends Jack, who's eager to impress tutors by helping newcomers to the area find their feet.

Turning up on Jack's doorstep for help with his mobile, Giovanni's taken aback by the sight of his sister Imogen - and it's clear that there's an instant spark between the pair.

Mirallegro began filming with Doctors last month and will make his debut on September 24 in an episode titled 'Two Marriages'.
